Chery Tiggo 4
The Chery Tiggo 4 (known internationally as the Tiggo 5x on the Chery T1X platform) arrived in UK showrooms in summer 2026 as the brand's most compact and affordable model, positioned directly in the competitive B-segment crossover class against the Dacia Duster, MG ZS, and Ford Puma. Measuring 4,320mm in length with a generous 430-litre boot expanding to 1,155 litres, the Tiggo 4 is powered exclusively in the UK by Chery's SHS-H (Chery Super Hybrid) full-hybrid powertrain. This system couples a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine to an electric motor and dedicated multi-speed hybrid transmission, generating a combined 204hp without requiring external wallbox charging. Offered in well-equipped Aspire and Summit trim grades starting from £19,995, standard kit includes dual 12.3-inch displays, Snapdragon-powered infotainment, 17-inch alloy wheels, and comprehensive safety assistance.

Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the Chery Tiggo 4, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Vague steering self-centring and artificial off-centre weighting
medium severityOn British road surfaces, the Tiggo 4 electric power-assisted steering suffers from inconsistent resistance and minimal self-centring torque when returning from shallow cornering angles. RAC road testers highlighted that the wheel tends to remain resting at an angle on sweeping bends rather than naturally returning towards dead-centre, creating an unnatural steering feel on UK country lanes.
Over-sensitive Advanced Driver Assistance System warning chimes
low severityThe Tiggo 4 comes equipped with comprehensive driver assistance technology, including Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Alert, and Forward Collision Warning. On narrower British rural roads and suburban streets, the forward-facing camera and radar frequently trigger acoustic chimes and flashing instrument alerts, creating driver annoyance during daily commutes.
Hybrid powertrain hesitation and initial step-off delay
medium severityThe 1.5-litre Chery Super Hybrid full-hybrid powertrain pairs an internal combustion engine with an electric traction motor and dedicated transmission. When demanding prompt acceleration from rest or low urban speeds, communication lag between throttle input, petrol engine startup, and multi-speed gear engagement can create a brief hesitation before delivering drive.
